About Besides driving, what is the easiest way to travel to Baltimore from Philly and back

Besides driving, what is the easiest way to travel to Baltimore from Philly and back? I don't want to drive!!
I am going on vacation with a friend who lives in Baltimore. We are flying from Baltimore. I really don't feel like driving there and I definitely won't feel like driving back after a week-long vacation. I live just outside of Philly. I'm not extremely familiar with public transportation and I don't want to impose on family or friends to take me to and from the train station, etc. Any suggestions/advice/tips would be GREATLY appreciated. Take care! I need to do this by myself. I drive but don't want to drive to Baltimore. Where can I park my car????

Amtrak. Runs from Baltimore Penn Station to Philadelphia.

You can take Amtrak between those two cities and then use the bus or subway to get home. I think the Acela even runs between those two cities.

Definitely take the train! You could take a bus, but on the train you can get up and move around.

Public transportation is nothing to be afraid of. You can drive to Philly's 30th St. Station and park for a week - just be prepared to pay $100 or so. Take Amtrak train from Philly to BWI Airport station. Take shuttle bus from train station to airport terminal (for example, Southwest). Have your friends meet you at the Southwest terminal (or any other carrier you're using). More info at: http://www.bwiairport.com After your vacation, take the shuttle bus from the airport back to the BWI train station and take the Amtrak train back to Philly. Pay the $100 for parking and drive back to where you live. No imposing on your friends or family.
